POWER OF THE PRESS,

In his speech in the Reichstag two OF
three days ago Bismarck was brought te
acknowledge the power of the press. HI
doesn't like newspapers and never did, but
he fears them and thus clumsily acknow
ledges their influence. In the speech re-
ferred to he speaks OF the "mendacious
press" and subsequently complains because
the ''papers even ask us to use our soldiers
to bar Russia's road to Constantinople. "
But this is nothing strange, coming from
the great chancellor. As long ago as 1852
he expressed very adverse opinion OF the
profession of journalism. He said that
journalists knew nothing OF the world, and
above all knew nothing OF politics; and that
instead OF directing public opinion they
misled it. He evidently meant by this that
journalists have very little influence in the
world-that they are not power in the
moulding OF public opinion. But if this be
a correct estimate OF the influence of Jour-
Dalists why does not Bismarck suppress
them in Germany?
He said, at the time referred to, that if
he were the government he would forbid
them all discussion, or he would suppress
them, which, he said, would be still bet
ter" He comes now very near to being the
government, but the newspapers of Ger
many are not suppressed. 1t is because
they are stronger than Bismarck. In spite
Of what he said they have a powerful in.
Duence upon public opinion in Germany;
and if he should suppress them it would be
like the feat of blind Samson, who, drag
,ing down the pillars OF the Philistine tenn
pie, buried himself in the ruins.

Day before yesterday the House Com.
mittee on coinage took up the bill provid.
ing for the re coinage OF trade dollars after
January 1, 1887, to the extent OF $780,.
600 per month, and that they shall he
counted as part OF the monthly purchase
OF bullion, as now required under the act
OF 1873. An amendment offered in the
Committee. striking out the latter provis.
ion in the bill, was voted down. Should
the House be OF the same mind there will
be just $500, 900 more silver thrown upon
the market, which will, OF course, have the
effect to depress it to some extent. The
chances however, are in favor of the House
adopting like amendment when the bill
comes mp in that body for consideration
The vet authorizing the coinage OF the stan.
dard dollar contemplated the purchase
and coinage OF raw silver and the friends
OF the metal will thus construe it.

new party is to be formed next mont
at Cincinnati, and John swintons pape
has found four planks to put in the plat
form, which, he says, il not perfect, con
tain hints tn would be serviceable to th
convention. We give them, with Joh1
Swintons own comments, as found in hi
paper:
The land plank OF the K. OF L.:
THAT the public lands, the heritage o
the people, be reserved for actual settlers
not another acre for railroads or specula
tors and that all lands now held for SPEC
Hlative purposes be taxed to their fuI
value"
There is surely nothing here to irighten
any honest Granger, yet there is a deer
thought for the adversary OF land monop
oily.
And here is the K. OF L. money plank:
That Congress shall establish national
monetary system, in which circulating
medium in necessary quantity shall issue
tion OF banks-that all the national issue
shall be full legal tender in payment of ali
deb1s, public and private-that the govern.
mont shall not guarantee or recognize anv
private banks, or create any banking cor
pOrations; that interest bearing bonds.
bills OF credit or notes shall never be is
sued by the Government, but that when
need arises. the emergency shall be met bv
issue OF legal tender non-interest bearing
money"
We presume that the great majority OF
financial reformers would be satisfied with
this plank in the platform OF the new
party.
And here is the X. OF L. plank concerning
the means Of transportation:
That the Government shall obtain nos.
session by purchase. under the right of en-
inent domain, OF all telegraphs, telephones
and railroads; and that hereafter no char
Ter or license be issued to any corporation
ior the construction or operation OF any
means OF transporting intelligence, passen-
gers or freight"
No doubt this plank will seem advanced
to many OF the delegates; yet all the great
organizations OF farmers and laborers haye
Tor years past been approximating the con.
clusion that such a measure is becoming a
matter OF necessity.
And here is the X. OF L. plank in respect
to labor.
That we desire the establishment Of IN.
operative institutions, such as will tend to
supersede the wage system, by the intro.
duction vi cooperative industrial avs.
tenn"
There will be delegates at Cincinnati who
cannot see how this is to be done all at
once. but those OF them who have thoueht
deeply on the subject will be able to en-.
tighten the Others as to the drift OF the
modern industrial movement.
Then, gong beyond these four blanks.
here is brief but important plank in the
n. OF l. platform referring to a system of
taxation which we once had in our country
and which should never have been abol.
ished:
THAT gradual income tax be levied"
Let the Industrial Union delegates look
closely at this plank, and watch whether #
is reported from the platform committee.
There are number OF other planks in tho
n. OF l.. platform that may we'll be studied
by all the delegates at Cincinnati,

Yesterdays Fire.

The fire at the corner of Washington and
Mercury Streets yesterday morning was
known OF at too late an hour for this paper
to detail. There were two houses belonging
TO W. j. McAuliff burned. An $500 piano,
all the furniture in the two houses, includ-
ing the apparel OF the inmates, were lost.
The firemen were on the ground as quickly
as possible and would have been there a
lew moments earlier il the alarm had not
been given that the burning was on Mon
tana street. The women and children oc.
enpyi' 9 the houses we've aided in every wav
possible by gentlemen present, and Chief
Cody deserves special mention for his me-
thodical way OF controlling an excited
crowd OF people. Tue property burned was
worth about $4,000 and insured for So

and children has the acknowle dsments Of
those whose faces were blisterine and feet
chilled by the deep snow.

PASSING AWAY.

Nne Of the best evidences that "West
ward the star Of Empire takes it way,
and of the advancement which civilization
has made during the past two decades to
ward the setting sun is found in the fact
that where millions Of buffalo roamed the
Western plains twenty years ago, there are
now left alive only some six hundred head
of these animals. This 10 manifest destiny.
Settlements, civilization and buffalos do
not thrive together, and it is well it is SO.
With the disappearance Of the buffalo the
raids of murderous savaees cease, and the
steckman end his cattle take the place
once occnpied by both.
In commenting upon this matter under
the above heading, the Deseret News says
that the indications now are the six hun.
dred struggling buffalo will soon be slaugh-
tered. and adds:
1.-The government, some time ago, insti-
tuted measures for the protection of the
natural wonders OF what is now known
as the Yellowstone National Park, from
the vandals who might seek their destruc-
ton. If something OF this kind is not done
iOT Cuc DuudIOs OuC u Vu0 uOUlc0V ouIu10I0
of this continent will soon disappear, leav.
ing not vestige OF the vast herds that
once darkened the plains as far as the eye
could reach. Until recently they have
merely suffered at the hands of hunters,
but now the museums are also after them
and their days are numbered"
An exchange has the following: "The |
National museum recently sent its taxi. |
dermist, William T. Hornaday, with two |
or three assistants, to Montana and Wyo-
ming for the purpose Of securing good spec
linens before it is too late. Mr.. Hornaday
reports in letter to Professor Baird that
he has succeeded in getting twelve of these
animals, some OF which will be mounted
and placed on exhibition in the National
museum, and the remainder distributed to
he principal colleges of the country" By
he time the other museums are supplied it
8 highly probably that the last buffalo
vill be stuffed and stuck up on sticks as a
uriosity. Hasten the day. Their places
re better filled by the short-horns and
'olled Angus that bring the eastern ducats

More Railroad Lines.

Arrangements have been made for the
construction of a branch line of railroad.
beginning at a point on the present Wal.
kerville road. not far west of Main street,
and running directly to the Chambers SYN
dicate mines. consisting of the Mountain
Consolidated, Green Mountain, High Ore,
Modoc and Wake-Up-Jim.
Work will soon begin on this line and
on the mining properties, and the Review
says: It may be we'll to state that the
Cha mbers syndicate has acquired control
OF the new concentrator and stamp mill
recently erected by the Anaconda company
at this place, or have secured a lease The
new works will be operated separately
from the Anaconda smelter. It is gener-
ally understood that the recent improve
ments made by the Anaconda management
in the old concentrator, and the addition
OF a steam stamp, will enable the upper
concentration to furnish all the concen.
trates that the smelling furnaces can treat.
This belief is founded on the increased
daily shipments of ore, and on the fact
that since the smelter has been started up
all the furnaces have been busy all the
time except when closed down for necessary
repairS
